Chapter 17: The School Beauty Invites Me
Three hours of exam time, Xie Feiyu finished in one hour. If it weren't for that essay, 20 minutes would have been enough. After all, this was the work of forty or so "little pipe houses" simultaneously searching for answers for him, and he just needed to copy down the answers in his mind. Even the essay had a template to copy from.
"Fatty, I've finished it. Do you want to borrow it to copy?" Xie Feiyu poked at Yuan Hao, who was still buried in thought.
Yuan Hao rolled his eyes at him. "Dude, if I didn't cheat off you, I'd be second to last, but since I cheated off you, we can both be tied for dead last."
Xie Feiyu smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything else, starting to sleep on the table.
After handing in the exam papers, Yuan Hao loudly asked Xie Feiyu to treat him to a good meal to celebrate Lan Xin giving him a birthday gift. Xie Feiyu touched the 200 yuan pocket money his mom gave him this morning and reluctantly agreed.
The two had just walked onto the main road of the school when Fatso pulled at Xie Feiyu's sleeve and nodded towards him, saying: "Brother, take a look, who is that?"
Xie Feiyu looked up and saw the class monitor, Ouyang Yan, standing at the side of the road with a small flower umbrella, hesitating. Her slender figure, her black hair reaching down to her waist, her white dress, paired with that small flower umbrella, really gave off an otherworldly air.
"Brother, is she waiting for us?" Fatso said with a grin on his face.
"You might as well give up, when will the school flower ever notice us? So many rich second generations and official second generations are lining up to chase her, but no one has ever been able to hold her hand. With your appearance, you'd better not put pressure on yourself." Xie Feiyu said with a smile, the two had been close friends for many years and were used to teasing and mocking each other, so Fatso didn't take it to heart.
"I'm not much to look at, but you're different, brother. At first glance, you're tall and majestic, like a jade tree in the wind. Up close, your eyes are eyes, your nose is a nose, a true talent! And just now, you became the hero of the whole school with your bravery. This beauty loves heroes, it's her nature, brother. Seize the opportunity, I'll be your strong backing."
"Cut, I'm looking for a fight with Li Jiang, and you're still waiting to get into a fight with me." Xie Feiyu smiled, but Ou Yang Yan was not the kind of girl who could be won over by sweet talk and persistent pursuit. With this kind of girl, the more you pursue her, the further she may run away. If you want to win her heart, you need to find an opportunity to make her have a good impression of you first.
"Head of the class, are you waiting for someone?" Passing by Ouyang Yan's side, Xie Feiyu still gave a polite greeting.
"Oh." Ou Yang Yan's expression was uncertain as she looked back.
Just as Xie Feiyu and Yuan Hao had walked a distance away, they heard Ouyang Yan's call from behind: "Xie Feiyu."
"What instructions does the class leader have?" Xie Feiyu turned around and looked at Ouyang Yan who was about to speak but hesitated.
The fat guy next to him raised his eyebrows and winked at Xie Feiyu, saying in a low voice: "Brother, the opportunity has come."
"Can...can I walk with you?" Ouyang Yan's face turned red as she finally stuttered out these words.
"It's an honor to walk with our beautiful lady." Xie Feiyu smiled, nodded and bowed his head, one hand behind his back, the other extended in a gesture of invitation.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yan's face turned red and she ran over with quick steps.
Just a few steps out, three fashionably dressed people suddenly rushed out from the teacher's parking shed and blocked Ouyang Yan in front of her.
"Ouyang Yan, our boss is waiting for you."
"Beautiful girl, come with us, we have a car. Look at the scorching sun, getting sunburned will worry our boss."
Ouyang Yan was so frightened that she retreated behind Xie Feiyu. "Xie Feiyu, I'm sorry!"
It was just a fatty, and at this time, he also saw the reason why Ouyang Yan wanted to go with them together. It turned out that she had long known that someone was blocking her way.
"Vroom," a brand-new black Santana suddenly shot out of the garage, screeched to a halt with a loud thud, and then slammed on the brakes, stopping right beside Ouyang Yan.
The car window rolled down, and a head with the front half of its hair styled in a high, golden pompadour and the back half tied up in a bun poked out from the window. A pale, handsome face turned to Ouyang Yan, smiling: "Little Yan, get in! I'll give you a ride home."
"I'm not going back today. You go first." Ouyang Yan retreated a little further back.
"Where are you going if you don't go back?"
"Where were we going again?" Ouyang Yan turned her face towards Xie Feiyu.
"Let's go eat at Mingyuelou." Xie Feiyu smiled and shielded Ouyang Yan behind him.
"Mingyuelou this small restaurant has what good to eat, I'll take you to Ding Shi Ji to eat seafood." Shi Qianfan said with one hand pressed on the car window and his head stretched out.
"I...I won't go. Shi Qianfan, stop pestering me, or I really will tell my dad." Ouyang Yan's face turned red as she said angrily.
"What's the point of telling your dad? Your dad even told my dad to let us get closer. Now, it's still not entirely dependent on our Shi family leaving food for you Ouyang family to eat?" Stone Qianfan sneered with a look of disdain.
"Ouyang, let's go." Xie Feiyu pulled up Ouyang Yan's hand and took her towards the three people blocking their way.
Xie Feiyu normally didn't back down from a fight, and after fighting many times, he naturally had an air of intimidation about him. Three students who were no shorter than him were actually scared into making way for him.
"Are you dead?! Stop him for me!" Shi Qianfan's cold shout from the carriage woke up the three of them, who then angrily surrounded him. How humiliating, they were actually intimidated by just one glance.
"What? Want to fight?" Xie Feiyu furrowed his brow, staring at the three people in front of him.
"Who are you? Dare to compete with our boss for the horse? Don't want your life, huh?" One of the three men stepped forward, trying to push Xie Feiyu's shoulder, but was dodged by Xie Feiyu's sinking shoulder.
"Three sons, don't move your hands first." Shi Qianfan glanced at the security guard at the school gate, and the car slowly slid over. He looked up and down at Xie Feiyu and said, "Xie Feiyu, right? Great hero, the red list is still stuck there, what? Do you want to be a protector again?"
"What's it to you?" Xie Feiyu glared back at him.
"It's not like that, Xiao Yan is a person with taste, she knows who can bring her happiness. Look at you all, the total value of your bodies isn't even enough for me to buy a pair of underwear!" Shi Qianfan sneered.
"Do you have money? If not, just buy a broken Santana." Yuan Hao chimed in.
"That's because my grandfather didn't want me to show off too much. Besides, what's wrong with my Santana? It's still better than walking like you guys!"
"That's not necessarily true." Xie Feiyu retorted. "This piece of junk is obviously picked up from a second-hand market, it moves slower than a snail and may break down halfway, who knows, by the time we arrive at Mingyue Building, this piece of junk might still be stuck in place?"
"You're saying that my car was picked up from a second-hand market? You can even walk faster than my car?" Shi Qianfan said with extreme anger and laughter.
"Isn't it? This broken thing, you're still showing off with it?" Xie Feiyu said disdainfully.
"Alright, you think you're fast? You walk faster than my broken Santana? Let's have a competition and see who's faster, you or my broken Santana?" Shi Qianfan angrily pointed at Xie Feiyu.
Xie Feiyu was taken aback, not expecting Shi Qianfan to make such a shameless request. But since the words were already out of his mouth, he couldn't take them back. After a brief moment of consideration, he gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, let's compete! From here to Mingyue Tower, you drive and I'll use my legs. Whoever gets there first wins!"
